Around here, we get a lot of snow. Normally over 150 inches a year, sometimes double that amount. When the sun comes out and heats up the barn roof just a bit, the fun begins.

The snow that so softly falls on the roof becomes an all consuming, slow wall of destruction. For the past three years running, this force has ripped down my humble smoke stack on the wood stove. Try as I may this wall just plows over all of my attempts to stop it.

Until now, I hope this snow diverter will keep the snow above the stack from sliding off the roof and taking the stack with it.
